Quantum computing developments have witnessed a remarkable progress in the two past decades, involving a multi-disciplinary field of applied research. With the advent of disruptive technologies which addresses individual quantum states, quantum properties such as superposition and entanglement have led to the development of a completely new approach in computational science.

Quantum computing field involves four domains:

Quantum communication via individual or entangled photons used to transmit data in a secure way

Quantum simulation via well-controlled quantum systems used to reproduce the behavior of less accessible quantum systems
